How Does Lee Use Injustice In To Kill A Mockingbird

In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Lee uses discrimination and injustice to tell us readers that justice should be blind when it comes to gender, race and the way you live life.

It’s one of the most terrible stories in history. Time for arithmetic, children.” because Miss Gates is telling Cecil that Jews were taken out of their country because of their beliefs this wasn't justice because they didn’t do anything bad to get kicked out of there home . When Mayela makes up the story of her being raped by Tom Robinson. white people seem are more respected just because of their skin color and
